UCD90120A: Extracting the FAULT LOGs from Intel HEX configuration file via TI Fusion software

Peter Kiss

Part Number: UCD90120A

Hello

- We would like to extract the fault logs from a master/slave UCD device pair which are only remotely accessible. 

- We are able to export the configuration files of these UCD devices into Intel HEX format . 

- Next, the configuration files are imported into some local UCD devices which are accessible in our own lab.

- During the TI Fusion Digital Power Designer Device Configuration Import step, when the Data Flash Import happens, the log reports that "Clearing data flash logs...".

- Therefore, all the fault logs stored in the configuration file, exported into the Intel HEX file, are lost when read back by the TI Fusion tool.

- Is it possible to disable the "Clearing data flash logs..." step in the import script of the TI Fusion Tool?  Please advise.

Thank you and best regards, Peter.

    Hello

    Instead of exporting hex file, you can use 0xEB and 0xEC commands to extract the individual fault and parse the fault based on the information on the section 10.28 of  http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slvc676

    Please follow below steps:

    1. issue 0xEB read command to get total number of available faults

    2.  issue 0xEB write command with update the fault index by (0 - [total number fault -1 ])

    3. issue 0xEC read command to read the fault assigned by the index in the step 2

    4. repeat step 2 and 3 until the last fault is retrieved.

    Hello yihe,

    - Thank you for the quick and informative response!

    - We have previously tried to read and parse the faults directly but we were not entirely successful.  However, we will try again.

    - We would rather prefer the TI Fusion Tool to do the parsing of the fault logs for us... which leads to the original question:

    - How to disable the "Clearing data flash logs..." step in the import script of the TI Fusion Tool?

    Thank you and best regards // Peter.
